By the way, any guys can recommend the best type of case for this phone? Should I get silicon, hard plastic cover, or one of those protective skins (e.g. Zagg invisible shield or Skinomi)? What did you guys get?

Got my SGS earlier today – is running very smoothly so far. Has JH1 on it, which is later than my mate’s recently updated Optus phone. I really hope that 3 release their 2.2 update around the same time as Optus in a week, that would just things all the sweeter.

Samsung Galaxy S is available on Virgin Mobile for $39 cap ($0 upfront, 24 Month contract). I’m looking forward for cheaper device within $29 cap. I don’t like SE Xperia X10 as most of the carriers charging top dollars for a phone without multi touch and older android and still no update in sight (Although SE blog promised update within Sept-Oct 2010)

At this point in time, you cannot buy a SGS to work on NextG (850MHz). You could purchase a Samsung Captivate which will work on NextG. It doesn’t look like an iclone which could be a pro to you. I myself don’t mind the iPhoney design :p.
